  From Quora Oct 17 Jean-Marie Valheur  upvoted   Fri   Roland Bartetzko  ·  Follow Logistics in Ukraine (2022–present) Thu What is your opinion of President Zelenskyy’s recent statement that President Trump is choosing Russia’s side rather than Ukraine’s? I’ve never seen President Zelenskyy look more tired and frustrated than during the interviews he recently gave to American media. That doesn't mean he is wrong. Although there are contradictory reports about whether the US has completely stopped sharing intelligence and providing Ukraine with high-speed Starlink access, the situation is bleak.

Cross/The New York Times By Kim Barker Reporting from Kyiv, Ukraine The New York Times Oct. 16, 2026, 11:02 a.m. ET see also This time, the rupture feels real. President Trump has long made no secret of his disdain for President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine and his affinity with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia.
